DUH ......Any given survey uses multiple elevations to show contour
lines.


Irrelevant to the point.

It just happens the apron right infront of my hangar was a
reference spot for one of those data points.


ONE of those data points. Was the reference spot marked with the elevation
at that point?

One of those that, when it feels like it, swings a hundred feet up and
down for ten or twenty minutes at a time. I think the best term for it
would be sub-standard.
